There’s very little Ariana Grande can’t do.
He’s 10 years older than me he would kill me for saying that!
And the rest is history.
When Grande was a kid, her parents decided to divorce.
This was a tough time for Grande, as shedescribed to The Telegraph.
“That was very hard as a young girl when my parents got divorced.
Being in the middle of it was so stressful.
I’m made from these two people and I’m caught in the middle of all this fighting…
Between the ages of 8 and 11, that was the roughest for me.”
So with these stressful times, acting was a very important part of Grande’s life.
During the interview, the star opened up about her struggles and how acting was her escape.
I loved playing a character as it was sort of just taking a vacation from myself."
She has pushed the envelope and shown confidence through her wardrobe choices.
This overall look is an inspiration from two very important people in her life… sort of.
Since the young age of 4, Grande has continued to see her mom as a fashion inspiration.
She said during the interview, “My mom is fly… She’s the baddest.
My whole life, she’s always worn custom-made, black, tailored outfits.
Black only I’ve never seen her wear another color.
And she adds a pop of color on her lip.
She has this blue lipstick I was really stoked on, and my Viva Glam as well.”
“She was always an extraordinarily talented creature.
So many of those kids in that original company were.
For Grande, starring in a Broadway musical was a dream come true.
But then in 2014 when the show ended, Grande was ready to move on to new things.
Even though different, Grande still was thankful for her time playing this character.
She addressed those diva rumors
Over time, Ariana Grande has proven herself.
She spoke withThe Telegraphabout this in 2014, specifically in regard to rumors about her being a diva.
And also things can only last so long when there’s little truth to them.
So that’s why I don’t trip over it.”
Grande is not afraid to be honest and say what she is thinking.
So it’s kind of odd.
I also think a lot of people don’t know what the word ‘diva’ means.
If you want to call me a diva I’ll say, ‘Um, well, cool.’
Barbra Streisand is a diva; that’s amazing.
Celine Dion is a diva; thank you.
But if you want to call me a b***h, that’s not accurate.
Because it’s just not in my nature."
You go, girl.
Grande is who she is, and she’s not falling into the gossip.
It’s fantastic to see a star address the issue head-on and stand her ground.
… And that’s an excruciating feeling."
She learned from the experience and expressed those thoughts during the interview.
… My behavior was very offensive and I apologized," Grande said.
“There’s no excuse or there’s nothing to justify it.”
She’s comfortable with who she is
She also addressed the stereotype and its negative effects.
I’m a good personand I have a cute booty.
It’s a horrible situation that we’re dealing with right now as women.
According to theBBC, 22 people were killed in the attack.
“It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss.
But, yeah, it’s a real thing,” she said.
Time is the biggest thing.
I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry."
They seemed very lovey-dovey.
He was hanging out with her and her friends with his arm around her.
She seemed quite smitten."
Just a few months later, the pair became engaged.
A source toldPeople, “It’s a recent engagement.
They’re just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time.
They both started talking about it this past weekend.
It’s nothing they’ve been hiding.”
However, the engagement didn’t last long and the pair broke up in October 2018.
Over the years, Grande has paid tribute to Miller in a number of ways.
Grande wasn’t at the ceremony, but she celebrated with anInstagrampost.
Thank you so much.
I love u," she wrote in the caption.
Even though Grande was thrilled to nab her first Grammy, it was never a goal for the singer.
In an interview withZach Sang, the host asked whether or not she wanted a Grammy.
“I really try not to and I’ll tell you why.
I didn’t come into this business being driven towards things like that,” Grande explained.
“Like, I just wanted to sing.
All I ever wanted to do was sing and write and perform and dance around and make music.”
She continued, saying, “I’m honored to be acknowledged.
It doesn’t make me any greater of an artist or lesser of an artist.”
And this is advice she wants her fans to follow too.
Speaking withByrdiein 2020, the singer said, “Be yourself and don’t listen to any trends.
Being yourself is one of the coolest things that you might do.
Sh*t, I’ll crimp it!
You ain’t seen a crimp like this in 20 years!”
Grande then brought it back to her fans and expressed her hope that they do not succumb to fear.
Embrace it then run with it."
However, in 2020, Grande met real estate agentDalton Gomezin New York.
The pair allegedly spent much of quarantine together and soon fell in love.
Later that year, Grande moved to Los Angeles to be with him.
“Dalton is a great guy.
He is very focused on work and low-key,” a source toldPeople.
“He likes keeping his relationship with Ari private.
They have been able to get to know each other in peace.”
A month later, Grande dropped anotherInstagrampost that was captioned, “My heart my person !
Thank u so much for being u.”
Ariana Grande launched her own makeup line, R.E.M.
Beauty
In 2021, Grande took the plunge into the world of business with her first brand, r.e.m.
beauty, which sells makeup and skincare.
“I don’t ever want to just jump into something that is popular,” she said.
“It has to feel super intentional and super fueled by passion.”
As the singer said in aninterview, she was thrilled to be part of the show.
“I think it is so happy and infectiously joyous,” she said.
She immediately seemed like a great fit.
In 2016, she played Penny in “Hairspray Live!”
and in 2021, she had a role in “Don’t Look Up.”
Grande is playing Glinda alongside Cynthia Erivo who is playing Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.
Kristin Chenoweth, who originated the role on stage, has already given Grande her stamp of approval.
“I feel great about both choices,” she toldEntertainment Tonight.
She added, “I told her not to think about me.
To find her own Glinda.
We talk about it, and we talk about life a lot.”
For Grande, starring in “Wicked” is a dream come true.
“We should really work towards not doing that as much.”
